About Patricia
Patricia Wong is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, grief, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, career stress, self-esteem difficulties, and challenges around sexuality and non-monogamous relationships.
Her style adapts to each person. She can be active and direct when a practical plan is needed, or quieter and reflective when listening is most useful. Patricia mixes solution-focused steps with cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to identify symptoms and try workable changes.
Patricia often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas when emotions and attachment patterns are important to the concern. She also draws on client-centered work to keep sessions focused on what the person brings and values most. Sessions aim to name difficult feelings, trace patterns, and try different ways of responding in daily life.
When someone brings trauma or past hurt, Patricia looks at how those experiences may create cycles that keep people stuck. She works with concrete goals alongside processing painful memories so that people can notice small shifts in how they relate and cope.
People meet her for short-term problem solving and for longer work on deeper issues. She encourages clear steps, practical tools, and regular check-ins about progress. To begin, clients follow the site's matching steps and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Patricia commonly integrates Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas in work that centers on emotions and attachment patterns, helping people name and work with hard-to-identify feelings in relationships and personal life. Client-Centered Therapy supports the person's own priorities, with the therapist following what the client brings and reflecting it back to promote clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or problematic habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Patricia will work collaboratively to choose techniques that match the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying practical steps, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together as progress is assessed.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let people use video or phone depending on camera comfort or bandwidth. Licensed professionals adapt pacing and homework so therapy fits everyday routines rather than requiring large schedule changes.
